Q

Countercurrent multiplier mechanism

A

Concentrates solute in medullary interstitium

High solute conc enables kidney to excrete high conc urine

16
Q

Describe urine in diuresis

A

High volume of dilute urine is excreted

17
Q

Talk to me about obligatory urine volume

A

The body generates 600 mOsm waste/day
Can concentrate to 1200 mOsm
SO…. minimum to remove waste is 0.5 L/day

18
Q

Osmolar clearance

A

Uosm x V/Posm

19
Q

Free water clearance

A

Excretion of water in excess of amount needed to excrete isosmotic urine

20
Q

If Uosm < Posm is positive

A

Pure water is cleared from body

21
Q

If Uosm > Posm is negative

A

Pure water is retained

22
Q

Fractional excretion

A

The fraction (percentage) of the filtered load of a substance that is secreted in urine

UP/PU
(Na is first, cr second)

23
Q

Fractional excretion < 1%

A

Pre renal and AGN

Na avidly reabsorbed

24
Q

Fractional excretion > 2%

A

ATN, Renal
